In using the device, a clamp is first attached to the supporting member and then the shank 9 of the bracket, or supporting arm, 10 is inserted within the socket 8 of the clamp in such manner that the arm 10 will extend in'the direction desired If it is ap- 25 plied in such a manner that the arm 10 will terial over it.

extend at a right angle to the bar 1, then the lateral arm 20 supports the arin 10. If the arm 10 should be disposed in a position parallel with the bar 1, then it will be additionally supported by the lug 25 of the clamp. The roller 15 may be adjusted on the bracket to the desired angle in accordance with the direction in which it is desired to pass the ma- By reference to Figure 2 of the drawing, it is apparent how the position of the roller may be adjusted to various angular relations with respect to the support and it is also apparent how the supporting arm 10 may be disposed in different positions with respect to the clamp. It will also be stated that the clamp may be inverted and reversed in its position and this provides that the supporting arm 10 may be reversed in its positions with respect to those illustrated in Figure 2.

Devices of this character may be made in various sizes and it is quite apparent that various details of construction could be altered without departing from the spirit of the invention. For this reason, I do not wish to confine the scope of the claims only to the details of construction shown Having thus described my invention, what I claim asnew therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: a

1. A device of the character described comprising a clamp bar adapted to be detachably fixed to a support and having a socket therein, a bracket having a mounting shank applicable to the socket in various ways to support the bracket at different positions and a roller a-djustably mounted by the bracket; said clamp having lateral supports extending therefrom for supporting engagement with the bracket at points spaced from the shank.

2. A device of the character described comprising a clamp bar adapted to be adj ustably and detachably fixed to a support and having a. socketformed therein adjacent one end, a bracket having a vertical shank applicable to the socket in various ways to support the bracket at different positions, a yoke adjustably mounted by the bracket at its outer end and a roller mounted by the yoke; said clamp bar having an arm extended laterally therefrom adjacent the socket for supporting engagement with the bracket when the latter is disposed angularly with respect to the bar and having a lug projecting from the end of the bar opposite that at which the socket is formed for supporting the bracket when it is disposed parallel with the bar.
